Sung Jinah Enters the S-Rank

Solo Leveling Arise - Sung Jinah
Sung Jinah is a Wind-Element SSR Mage - and the younger sister of Sung Jinwoo - charging into Solo Leveling: ARISE with a spear in hand and the confidence to match.

Her fighting style is all about speed and flow, with absurdly fast MP recovery, well-rounded stats, and hard-hitting skills that keep the pressure on. Jinah shines in Wind teams that value fast rotations, clean combos, and a little family power on the frontline.
